We have used both Uber and Lyft for many years, all over the country, and including here in TV, with never any problem. The drivers do not have access to your credit card info; only the company (Lyft or Uber) does. These services are a wonderful option at times. We choose to only have one car (plus a golf cart); and on the rare occasions that we each need a car at the same time, Lyft or Uber are a wonderful help. Way less expensive than maintaining two cars. Also, you can schedule a ride in advance; such as for an important ride - going to the airport etc.
